Patent attributes
A collaborative security enhancement system for digital files is provided. A computing device detects a transfer of a digital file between a source device and a destination device in a given group of devices. The computing device generates a unique identifier (UID) for the transferred digital file. The computing device instructs that information relating to the digital file be stored in a record associated with the digital file, wherein the information includes: (i) an identification of the source device, (ii) an identification of the destination device; and (iii) the generated UID. The computing device identifies that the digital file has been contaminated. The computing device identifies a source of the contamination based, at least in part, on the stored information in response to identifying that the digital file has been contaminated.
